About Daniel James (footballer) in brief
Daniel Owen James is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Manchester United and the Wales national team. He made his professional debut for Swansea City in February 2018, and signed for United in June 2019. James was born in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, and attended South Hunsley School. He was a highly regarded prospect of the Hull City academy side, and joined Swansea City for an initial fee of £72,000 in 2014. He became an integral part of the Swansea U23 side who gained promotion to the PDL Division 1, winning the league by an 11-point margin. On 30 June 2017, James signed for League One club Shrewsbury Town on loan until the end of the season. His loan deal was terminated by mutual consent on 31 August 2017, after he failed to force his way into the starting 11. He scored his first league goal for the club on 24 November 2018 in a 4–1 home defeat against Norwich City.
In December 2018, with James now a regular and one of the standout performers for Swansea, manager Graham Potter revealed that the club were looking to open talks with James over a new contract. Despite discussion of a move to Leeds United during the January 2019 transfer window, James was named in the starting line-up for Swansea against Birmingham City on 29 January. On 31 January 2019, James expressed his desire to leave Swansea to join Leeds United, with a structured £10 million fee agreed between the two clubs. However, after speculation of a disagreement between Swansea owners and their chairman regarding the structure of the deal only an hour before the transfer window’s 11 pm deadline, he was left at Elland Road awaiting the deal to be signed off by Swansea.
